    Take a look at information about one of the dependencies of 'qemu':
        $ apt show qemu-system-common/bullseye-backports
    
    The 'Breaks:' section of "qemu-system-common" package says
    "libvirt-daemon" needs to be at least version 7.2.0-1 or later.
    Now let's see what versions of "libvirt-daemon" available in Debian
    repos:
        $ rmadison libvirt-daemon
    
    Since there are no backported version exists yet and latest version
    is 7.0.0-3, apt demands removal of conflicting packages.
    
    You have two options.
    First is to simply wait until "libvirt" will be backported from
    testing and hits bullseye-backports.
    Second option is to try and create backported package¹ from sources
    available in testing by yourself.
